honestly the fact Dems have more trust in the 2024 election than the 2018 one is kind of insane. But itโ€™s like vaccines now, all the cranks realigned to one party
This needs to be broken down by state. It's hiding too much variation since the election is handled so differently across state lines.
Dems trust the institutions they fully control. Check how they feel about SCOTUS lately, or any of Elonโ€™s companies.
the jump on the republican side might have had something to do with the 200,000 poll watchers the RNC hired, and the like 50 lawyers per swing state which is common sense, to those who live in reality
American institutions are at a low point and trust and confidence werenโ€™t going to recover under the status quo. You humorless harpies are gonna keep getting crushed up and down the century.
Bullshit. I guess the TV didn't mention the mass fraud around the country. This was a Trump sweep, not a blip. Stealing seats in CA and stuffing ballots.
Over the past 12 years all the institutions we used to trust have betrayed that trust, lying, grossly, repeatedly. If you keep trusting them, you're an abuse victim.
You can graph your ass off, but if the โ€œinstitutionsโ€ are inefficient, either by design or corruption, they need dismantled! Unless of course youโ€™re one of the END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS group, in that case, you get DJT. Cause and effect are definitely at work here.
It's quite telling that many Republicans didn't think this year's elections were fair - that is, until it was clear that Trump won. Then they forgot about it...

the amount of cope I have seen that is essentially "nuh uh, we always had faith in the electoral process" is actually just astounding.
Maybe also the fact that 2020 elections were in the midst of the pandemic and were absolutely not run very well- whether you believe in voter fraud or not. Democrats seem to just instinctively accept that everything is on the level whenever its one of their institutions
republicans need a (as perceived) big strong daddy to be in charge. they're the Ideal sub.
๐Ÿคฃ๐ŸคฃI am a lifelong Dem who voted Bernie twice, Nadar once, etc. and just now voted Trump. I had a letter to editor about paper ballots, publicly counted, with ID on Election Day published. This was in 2017! Are you really that blinkered? You think our election system is secure?
Never seen a better example of History will judge Biden like we now judge Neville Chamberlain stupidly, because of a piece of paper, handing a psychopath actual weapons institutional and literal weapons including nuclear weapons, which BTW Hitler never had. Absolute stupidity
Well, that's why Democrats are idiots. You should *always* trust human beings over "institutions." That's why I might trust my doctor, lawyer, or Representative, but not the institutions of medicine, the law, or government.
Trump and the GOP actually had teams of people and lawyers on the ground bring suits and investigations this election cycle.
Democrats trust institutions? Really? Let's talk about the Supreme Court. Or the Electoral College. Or Law enforcement. Or the military. Or the states. I could go on, but why bother?
Correct. We trust Trump over any government system. Thatโ€™s why the country voted for Donald Trump. Institutions are corrupt. How do you not know this?
Or maybe 2020 was blatantly obviously a complete sham and stolen election? Amazing those 10 million votes evaporated in just 4 years isnโ€™t it?
โ€œNice to meet you. Iโ€™m a registered Democrat and I trust institutions.โ€
It's more about Democrats trust partisan mainstream news while Republicans trust data and statistics. I present you the mysterious case of the Bellwether counties that showed a 1 in 24 trillion statistical anomaly by not correlating to the 2020 presidential ticket.

Not a 100% fair comparison, because there weren't any Dem candidates trying to tear down the integrity of the elections. It would be interesting to see the numbers when Bernie was proclaiming the primaries to be "rigged" in '16.
It's easy to point at such data and correlate to the Republican obsession with Trump as well as suggesting the Democrat mind relies on pragmatism. Could well be true,but that's not really the question is it. We do not know if 2020 was rigged. We simply do not know.
The same trustful institutions that Denied hunter biden laptop Denied 2014 burisma Reported russia russia russia stole the elections The same institutions that Said WMD's in Iraq? That let 9/11 happen The same institutions that invaded afghanistan while laden was in pakistan?
Trump 2020 election denial was 4-D chess. He was planning to negatively polarize the left into recognizing him as a legitimate President. Trust the Plan.
